Choking and coughing.

by Miss Lucy, Sep 26, 2002 12:00AM
Please help anyone.
This use to happen only at night, I would wake up coughing and choking. Its started during the day now and is terrible, especially when I am out. I feel a sharp stabbing pain in the back of my throat and start coughing and my eyes start watering and I have to swallow swallow swallow, and my nose runs. I can't do anything else at that moment.

I don't have a cough otherwise or a blocked nose, or allergies.
I have to wait two weeks before I can get into my doctors.

This has been going on for about a year, I thought it was sinus but have been treated for that and still it happens.

Anyone have any ideas,I would be greatful for some feedback.

Thanks
Miss Lucy

I have exactly the same symptoms in addition to some other problems. I have had two PH tests that showed severe gastric reflux, even though I rarely have heartburn. Reflux can cause a hoarse voice, coughing and choking.
